This film takes place in the 1970's, and the art direction is great. The sets, the furniture, the cars: a major set of the film is a 1970's car lot. Really a lot of fun and memories for me. Cell phones were huge, land lines ruled, and there was no technology. The story is well delivered by Chris Meloni, Dean Norris, and Bridget Moynahan as leads. The supporting cast is very good. In the 1970's, Los Angeles area, there were so many used car sales lots and many stories to go with these salesmen.
Chris Meloni plays a Dad to a high school grad, and he has to decide a few things that can change the lives of those around him. Good story and you come away from the film feeling good. Recommend.

Entertaining. Nice acting all around, especially by Chris Meloni. Not sure if the story is realistic, but passible. However, not worth a long wait to take out of the library.
